PREFACE 

This  list  was  begun  as  an  expansion  of  Miss  Mary 
Medlicott's  Abbreviations  in  Book  Catalogues  which 
was  issued  in  1906  by  the  Boston  Book  Company  as 
Bulletin  of  Bibliography,  pamphlet  No.  15.  It  has 
so  far  outgrown  the  limits  of  the  original  list  as  to 
have  become  a  quite  independent  production.  Spe- 
cial thanks,  however,  for  the  original  plan  and  for  much 
of  the  subject  matter  of  the  present  list  are  due  to 
Miss  Medlicott's  list  and  to  a  manuscript  List  of  bibli- 
ographical terms  and  abbreviations  compiled  in  1906, 
under  the  direction  of  Mr.  E.  C.  Williams,  by  Miss 
Eliza  Townsend  for  the  use  of  the  Western  Reserve 
Library  School. 

Originality  can  hardly  be  claimed  for  any  work  so 
obviously  dependent  on  previous  similar  attempts  nor, 
although  longer  than  most  previous  attempts,  can  any 
claim  to  more  than  approximate  completeness  be  made 
for  this  list.  Perhaps  the  chief  point  of  difference  from 
other  lists  is  the  greater  attention  paid  to  terms  and 
abbreviations  frequently  used  in  current  catalogues  of 
second-hand  booksellers  but  which,  as  they  describe 
peculiarities  of  individual  copies,  are  seldom  found  in 
more  formal  bibliographies.  Arbitrary  symbols  used 
only  in  particular  works  are  usually  explained  in  the 
works  themselves  and  are  therefore  seldom  included 
here.     The    inclusions    are    almost    entirely    biblio- 


graphic  rather  than  literary,  that  is,  confined  to  terms 
used  in  the  description  of  books  rather  than  in  the 
titles  proper.  The  chief  exception  is  the  inclusion 
of  a  partial  list  of  honorary  titles  likely  to  be  met 
in  author  entries.  Many  terms  have  been  included 
which  are  almost  certain  to  be  superfluous  for  the 
expert  bibliographer  but,  as  the  expert  seldom  ought 
to  need  an  elementary  list  to  aid  him,  the  needs  of 
beginners  have  been  given  first  consideration. 

It  is  perhaps  unnecessary  to  state  that  this  is  a 
list  of  terms  in  actual  use,  good,  bad  and  indifferent, 
and  not  a  code  of  forms  recommended  for  use  in 
catalogues  and  bibliographies.  Some  unusual  terms 
used  in  descriptions  of  manuscripts  and  incunabula 
have  been  omitted.  For  these,  Cappelli's  Dizionario 
de  abbreviature,  Chassant's  Dictionnaire  des  abreviations 
and  Prou's  Manuel  de  paleographic  Latine  et  francaise 
(jd  ed.  Par.  iQio)  should  be  consulted.  Older  spell- 
ings which  are  not  radically  different  from  present 
usages  are  not  usually  indicated.  They  can  easily  be 
found  in  good  dictionaries. 

The  lists  of  honorary  titles  and  of  places  of  publi- 
cation are  confessedly  incomplete.  For  such  abbre- 
viations, titles  and  place  names  as  are  omitted,  consult 
the  authorities  cited  at  the  head  of  each  of  these  two 
sections. 

Special  thanks  are  due  to  Mr.  A.  Hafner  of  G.  E. 
Stechert  &  Co.,  New  York,  for  current  catalogues 
from  which  many  of  the  entries  were  taken;  to  the 
Grolier  Club  and  its  librarian,  Miss  Ruth  S.  Grannis, 
for  access  to  bibliographic  works  in  the  club  library; 
to  Mr.  A.  J.  F.  van  Laer,  Archivist,  New  York  State 
Library,  for  corrections  and  additions  in  the  Dutch, 
French  and  Italian  sections;  to  Miss  Gudrun  Holth 

vi 


of  the  New  York  State  Library  School  for  similar  help 
in  the  Swedish  and  Danish-Norwegian  sections;  to 
Mr.  John  T.  Fitzpatrick  of  the  Legislative  Reference 
Section  of  the  New  York  State  Library  for  correcting 
the  proof  of  the  Spanish  section;  to  Mr.  Adam  J. 
Strohm  of  the  Detroit  Public  Library  for  correcting 
that  of  the  Swedish  section  and  to  Miss  Edna  M. 
Sanderson  of  the  New  York  State  Library  School  for 
correcting  proof.  Whatever  accuracy  or  usefulness 
the  list  may  possess  is  in  large  part  due  to  their 
assistance.
